SPOT’s Positive Catalysts
The investment bank expects Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT) to benefit from price increases later this year in France, Germany, and the U.S.
Meanwhile, more musicians are likely to utilize SPOT’s promotional offerings, and the company should be able to obtain more revenue from its audiobooks in the wake of a U.S. federal court’s recent ruling against Apple (AAPL), the investment bank believes. Following the court ruling, SPOT is allowing users to buy audiobooks and audiobook hours directly from the company.
Finally, Guggenheim is bullish on the longer-term outlook of Spotify’s audiobook business in general.
